Description:
The module Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies shall enable that students are knowledgeable about the classification, structure, defects and properties of nanomaterials and about methods of their obtaining, testing and in applications corresponding with modern technical requirements. Owing to that students will be capable of selecting the material, the method of its obtaining depending on operational parameters of specific elements of equipment and also of obtaining a better understanding of correlations between nanomaterials obtaining methods, their structure and properties as well as mechanisms forming their properties. This will allow honing the skill to form the nanomaterials structure and properties necessary for technical and medical applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics, chemistry, crystallography, materials testing methods.
